Talie Smith is the Founder, CEO, and Chief Creative Officer at Smith & Connors, a brand and digital agency that accelerates growth and transformation for organizations on a mission. She pioneered Design Therapy, a methodology that helps organizations own their true voice and navigate change through values-driven communications. With over 20 years of experience, Talie draws from her background in visual design, literature, and her work at the Soros Foundations to create meaningful, impactful brand strategies. She is also a member of Business for a Better Portland, an Experience Director at the US West Region of Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO), and a board member of Zebras Unite. In this episode… Finding the courage to embrace your true self while navigating business and personal growth can feel overwhelming. Many entrepreneurs struggle with self-doubt, misalignment, and the fear of change, often leading to stalled progress and unfulfilled potential. But how does one muster the bravery to leave behind what no longer serves them and embrace a new path? Creative strategist Talie Smith shares how she helps organizations rediscover their identity through a unique approach called "Design Therapy." By facilitating open conversations, addressing hidden tensions, and creating a time-bound process, she ensures teams align around a shared vision. Drawing from her journey — overcoming childhood struggles, taking bold risks, and even undergoing a transformative psychedelic experience — Talie emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, resilience, and vulnerability in leadership and branding. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Talie Smith, Founder, and CEO at Smith & Connors, about using design therapy to align personal and organizational identities. They discuss how Talie's childhood shaped her fearless approach to business, her bold move from New York to Portland without a job, and why she welcomes workplace conflict as an opportunity for transformation. This conversation offers valuable lessons in embracing change and authenticity.

The Project, "Creates lifelong freedom marked by holistic care for victims of human trafficking. Products are crafted in freedom by skilled Artisans who are finding their voice, experiencing independence and growing with a sisterhood of others who have overcome."

Their training center serves over 3,000 in the redlight area in India which they started from. "Will never employ a woman unless we can fully sustain her ongoing," states Berg. She continues, "Everything that we create . . . was made by women who we've helped set free and have overcome quite awful situations. We provide sustainable employment through holistic care so they're fully sustained. And then our products are sold and marketed here in the USA."  Her life was forever changed when her and her husband on a trip to India--witnessed a two square mile area with over 15,000 sex slaves existing in tiny corridor and awful living situations. She and her whole family returned, embedded in the area and spent months researching mission, vision, values of other organizations before they launched.  She discusses how they fund the business, how they train the women to not only live their life after they get out of the brothel, but then to get them into work, how they compete with other, larger athleisure brands, plans for working with the HALO sector, and more.  Be sure to reach out to April to inquire about donating, or if your organization would consider reselling their items.

"It's not just a race, it's a party. Yes we're taking it serious, yes we're running fast, yes we're trying to win, but you can't help but party; you can't help but dance." - Gabriel Jarquin In June, LGBTQ2S+ communities around the world come together to celebrate love, diversity and acceptance. The month of June was chosen to commemorate the riots held by members of the community against a police raid that took place at the Stonewall Inn in New York City on June 28, 1969. In addition to the parades, parties, and concerts, various cities around the world organize a Pride Run. Twenty Five years ago, Alan Belaiche started the Pride & Remembrance Run in Toronto to honour his friend who died of AIDS the year prior.

Ashley Bishop, Programming & Customer Experience Director for the Royal and Derngate Theatres, shares news of their reopening with details of the social distancing in place and what has been going on behind the scenes in a 'dark' closed theatre these past few months.
